Corey Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I've seen this sparrow a few times this month in Vegas, and posted a photo in the "Share your best photo of the day" here. It's on page 93. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark F Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 Trevor, To correct my list (thanks to people on the forum: not Anna’s but rather Costa’s Hummingbird; not American Kestral but rather Red-tailed Hawk. I also saw some Yellow-rumped Warblers in Indian Canyon; also what are probably House Finches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crow I live in Yucca Valley right next to Joshua Tree National Park. Not a bird expert, but we do have American Kestrel here. We also have lots of Ravens but no Crows.

Mark F Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 Thanks! That’s a fascinating part of the world you live in. Haha, ravens huh. Now I have to give my daughter the opportunity to say, I told you so. She’ll love it. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was curious to see if the forum had survived after the servers crashed a while back, good to see that it has. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
